Who are 1st Colchester?

 

We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to 1st Colchester Scout group, we have a proud and long history of providing scouting for the young people of Colchester.  We can trace our origins back to before scouting and were originally based on culver street.  In 1980’s we moved to our current home, which was built for us as part of the redevelopment of the culver area.

The Joining Process

​

Stage 1 - Trial / Linking

​

This process usual is done over a 4 to 6 week period where young people will come along an join in the section evenings, and try it out we would encourage a minimum of 4 weeks trial as programs vary every week.  If they would like to trial longer this is fine and can be arranged after discussions with section leaders.

​

Stage 2 - Investiture 

​

This is the name for the formal ceremony where the new member, read out or repeat the scouting promise (for their section) and formally become a member of the group.  This ceremony is very traditional and has been performed since the early days of scouting.
